The Social Security Administration (SSA) is sending out payments for Social Security, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) in June 2025. These payments help retirees, people with disabilities, survivors, and those with low income. This article explains the payment schedule, eligibility, and other important details in simple terms.
What Are Social Security, SSI, and SSDI Payments?
Social Security, SSI, and SSDI are programs that provide financial support to millions of Americans. Here’s a quick overview:
- Social Security: Monthly payments for retirees, survivors of deceased workers, and some disabled individuals.
- SSI (Supplemental Security Income): Helps people who are 65 or older, blind, or disabled with very limited income and resources.
- SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance): Supports people with disabilities who have worked and paid Social Security taxes.
The SSA has already sent most June 2025 payments, with the final batch going out soon. Payments are often loaded onto debit cards or deposited directly into bank accounts.
June 2025 Payment Schedule for Social Security, SSI, and SSDI
Payments are sent in waves throughout the month, depending on your program and birth date. Below is the schedule for June 2025:
Social Security Payment Dates
- June 3: For those receiving benefits before May 1997.
- June 11: If your birthday is between the 1st and 10th of any month.
- June 18: If your birthday is between the 11th and 20th of any month.
- June 25: If your birthday is between the 21st and 31st of any month.
SSI Payment Date
SSI payments are typically sent on the 1st of each month. However, since June 1, 2025, is a Sunday, the payment will be sent early on May 30, 2025. This is not a mistake or extra money—just a shift to the last business day of May.
SSDI Payment for Group 2
If you started receiving SSDI after May 1997 and your birthday is between the 1st and 10th of any month, your payment will arrive on June 11, 2025. Funds will be available in your bank account or on your debit card if you have direct deposit.
Who Can Get SSI Payments?
SSI is for people who have limited income and resources. To qualify, you must be:
- 65 years or older, blind, or disabled.
- Have very little income and few assets (like savings or property).
Unlike SSDI, SSI is funded by general taxes, not Social Security taxes. This means you may qualify even if you never worked or paid into Social Security.
How Much Are SSI Payments in 2025?
The maximum SSI payment amounts for 2025 are:
- $967 per month for an individual.
- $1,450 per month for a couple.
Are Social Security Payments Taxed?
Your Social Security benefits might be taxed if your income is above a certain amount:
- Single filers: If your income is over $25,000, part of your benefits may be taxed.
- Married couples: If your combined income is over $32,000, you may owe taxes on some benefits.
Check with a tax professional to understand your situation.
Will COLA Increases Affect Other Benefits?
A Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) increases your Social Security or SSI payments to keep up with inflation. In most cases, a COLA increase won’t reduce other state or federal benefits, but it’s a good idea to confirm with your caseworker.
Important Tips for Beneficiaries
- Check Your Payment Date: Use the SSA’s website to confirm when your payment will arrive.
- Set Up Direct Deposit: This ensures your money arrives quickly and safely in your bank account or on a debit card.
- Stay Informed: Visit the SSA’s official website for updates on payment amounts, eligibility, and program changes.
